This interface allows the host to override a table via a
physical address, instead of the logical address required by
acpi_os_table_override. This simplifies the host implementation.
Initial implementation by Thomas Renninger. ACPICA implementation

a logical and a physical override.

This change expands acpi_os_read_memory and acpi_os_write_memory to a
full 64 bits. This allows 64 bit transfers via the acpi_read and
acpi_write interfaces. Note: The internal acpi_hw_read and acpi_hw_write
interfaces remain at 32 bits, because 64 bits is not needed to

Base ACPI (CA) currently does not support atomic 64-bit reads and writes
(acpi_read() and acpi_write() split 64-bit loads/stores into two
32-bit transfers) yet APEI expects 64-bit transfer capability, even
when running on 32-bit systems.

This patch implements 64-bit read and write routines for APEI usage.

This patch re-factors similar functionality introduced in commit
04c25997, bringing it into the ACPI subsystem in preparation for
removing ./drivers/acpi/atomicio.[ch].  In the implementation I have
replicated acpi_os_read_memory() and acpi_os_write_memory(), creating
64-bit versions for APEI to utilize, as opposed to something more
elegant.  My thinking is that we should attempt to see if we can get
ACPI's CA/OSL changed so that the existing acpi_read() and acpi_write()
interfaces are natively 64-bit capable and then subsequently remove the
replication.

I originally submitted a patch to workaround this by pushing all Ejection
Requests and Device Checks onto the kacpi_hotplug queue.

http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=131678270930105&w=2

The patch is still insufficient in that Bus Checks also need to be added.

Rather than add all events, including non-PCI-hotplug events, to the
hotplug queue, mjg suggested that a better approach would be to modify
the acpiphp driver so only acpiphp events would be added to the
kacpi_hotplug queue.

It's a longer patch, but at least we maintain the benefit of having separate
queues in ACPI.  This, of course, is still only a workaround the problem.
As Bjorn and mjg pointed out, we have to refactor a lot of this code to do
the right thing but at this point it is a better to have this code working.

The acpi core places all events on the kacpi_notify queue.  When the acpiphp
driver is loaded and a PCI card with a PCI-to-PCI bridge is removed the
following call sequence occurs:

cleanup_p2p_bridge()
	    -> cleanup_bridge()
		    -> acpi_remove_notify_handler()
			    -> acpi_os_wait_events_complete()
				    -> flush_workqueue(kacpi_notify_wq)

which is the queue we are currently executing on and the process will hang.

Move all hotplug acpiphp events onto the kacpi_hotplug workqueue.  In
handle_hotplug_event_bridge() and handle_hotplug_event_func() we can simply
push the rest of the work onto the kacpi_hotplug queue and then avoid the
deadlock.

All ACPICA locks are allocated by the same function,
acpi_os_create_lock(), with the help of a local variable called
"lock".  Thus, when lockdep is enabled, it uses "lock" as the
name of all those locks and regards them as instances of the same
lock, which causes it to report possible locking problems with them
when there aren't any.

To work around this problem, define acpi_os_create_lock() as a macro
and make it pass its argument to spin_lock_init(), so that lockdep
uses it as the name of the new lock.  Define this macron in a
Linux-specific file, to minimize the resulting modifications of
the OS-independent ACPICA parts.

If the dynamic region is created and added to resource list over and over again,
it has the potential to be a memory leak by growing the list every time.

This patch fixes the memory leak, as below

1) add a new field "count" to struct acpi_res_list.

   When inserting, if the region(addr, len) is already in the resource
   list, we just increase "count", otherwise, the region is inserted
   with count=1.

   When deleting, the "count" is decreased, if it's decreased to 0,
   the region is deleted from the resource list.

   With "count", the region with same address and length can only be
   inserted to the resource list once, so prevent potential memory leak.

2) add a new function acpi_os_invalidate_address, which is called when
   region is deleted.

Small ACPICA extension to be able to store the name of operation regions in osl.c later

In ACPI, AML can define accesses to IO ports and System Memory by Operation
Regions.  Those are not registered as done by PNPACPI using resource templates
(and _CRS/_SRS methods).

The IO ports and System Memory regions may get accessed by arbitrary AML code.
 When native drivers are accessing the same resources bad things can happen
(e.g.  a critical shutdown temperature of 3000 C every 2 months or so).

It is not really possible to register the operation regions via
request_resource, as they often overlap with pnp or other resources (e.g.
statically setup IO resources below 0x100).

This approach stores all Operation Region declarations (IO and System Memory
only) at ACPI table parse time.  It offers a similar functionality like
request_region and let drivers which are known to possibly use the same IO
ports and Memory which are also often used by ACPI (hwmon and i2c) check for
ACPI interference.

A boot parameter acpi_enforce_resources=strict/lax/no is provided, which
is default set to lax:
  - strict: let conflicting drivers fail to load with an error message
  - lax:    let conflicting driver work normal with a warning message
  - no:     no functional change at all
Depending on the feedback and the kind of interferences we see, this
should be set to strict at later time.

Goal of this patch set is:
  - Identify ACPI interferences in bug reports (very hard to reproduce
    and to identify)
  - Find BIOSes for that an ACPI driver should exist for specific HW
    instead of a native one.
  - stability in general

Provide acpi_check_{mem_}region.

Drivers can additionally check against possible ACPI interference by also
invoking this shortly before they call request_region.
If -EBUSY is returned, the driver must not load.
Use acpi_enforce_resources=strict/lax/no options to:
  - strict: let conflicting drivers fail to load with an error message
  - lax:    let conflicting driver work normal with a warning message
  - no:     no functional change at all

bits should be preserved when writing the registers via
a read/modify/write cycle. There are 3 bits preserved
in this manner: PM1_CONTROL[0] (SCI_EN), PM1_CONTROL[9],
and PM1_STATUS[11].

Implemented the initial deployment of new OSL mutex
interfaces.  Since some host operating systems have
separate mutex and semaphore objects, this feature was
requested. The base code now uses mutexes (and the new
mutex interfaces) wherever a binary semaphore was used
previously. However, for the current release, the mutex
interfaces are defined as macros to map them to the
existing semaphore interfaces.

Fixed several problems with the support for the control
method SyncLevel parameter. The SyncLevel now works
according to the ACPI specification and in concert with the
Mutex SyncLevel parameter, since the current SyncLevel is
a property of the executing thread. Mutual exclusion for
control methods is now implemented with a mutex instead
of a semaphore.

Fixed three instances of the use of the C shift operator
in the bitfield support code (exfldio.c) to avoid the use

be detected and avoided.  (Fiodor Suietov)

Removed a device initialization optimization introduced in

could cause problems because it could allow _INI methods
to be run within a not-present device subtree (If a
not-present device had no _INI, _STA would not be run,
the not-present status would not be discovered, and the
children of the device would be incorrectly traversed.)

subtrees that do not contain _INI are identified and
ignored during device initialization. Selectively running
_STA can significantly improve boot time on large machines

unresolved namestring references within resource package
objects for the _PRT method. This support is in addition
to the previously implemented unresolved reference
support within the AML parser. If the interpreter slack
mode is enabled (true on Linux unless acpi=strict),
these unresolved references will be passed through
to the caller as a NULL package entry.

Implemented and deployed new macros and functions for
error and warning messages across the subsystem. These
macros are simpler and generate less code than their
predecessors. The new macros ACPI_ERROR, ACPI_EXCEPTION,
ACPI_WARNING, and ACPI_INFO replace the ACPI_REPORT_*
macros.

Implemented the acpi_cpu_flags type to simplify host OS
integration of the Acquire/Release Lock OSL interfaces.
Suggested by Steven Rostedt and Andrew Morton.

Fixed a problem where Alias ASL operators are sometimes
not correctly resolved. causing AE_AML_INTERNAL

Fixed several problems with the implementation of the
ConcatenateResTemplate ASL operator. As per the ACPI
specification, zero length buffers are now treated as a
single EndTag. One-length buffers always cause a fatal
exception. Non-zero length buffers that do not end with
a full 2-byte EndTag cause a fatal exception.

Fixed a possible structure overwrite in the
AcpiGetObjectInfo external interface. (With assistance
from Thomas Renninger)
